The world is full of good people, but sometimes all we hear is the bad. Here is a short list that comes to mind of people we can all learn from, and be inspired by. This is just the first two, there will be more to come.
George Foreman - A typical rags to riches story. It is about a black man growing up in Texas with a single mom in the 60's. He decides he isn't going to be another faceless teenager that is part of the problem and joins a job force agency that educates him and preps him for his Olympic run at Boxing gold. He never gave up and in the end he won the gold, two heavy weight titles and become one of the most loved boxers to ever live.
Curt Shilling - Sometimes he is loved, sometimes he is hated; but he always puts others first. No one will forget his bloody sock on Game 6 of the 2004 ALCS game. It is a a symbol that you can do anything if you want it bad enough. It was also a sign that it was the year of destiny for all Red Sox fans.
His work off field is also inspirational, he has founded a charity organization and raises money regularly through fundraisers with his wife.
